http://www.gospelines.com "Peace" Peace. In the sixties it meant raising two fingers, spread apart, as a salute that everything was OK. Today it seems a little more complicated than that. How do you find peace in a tumultuous world? Born in Portland, Oregon, Jim Elliott died in Ecuador. He and four other missionaries were murdered by the Huaorani Indians, the same group they were attempting to evangelize. Shortly before his death, Jim wrote these unforgettable words in his journal: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose." Those who knew him said he was a man who sought God at every level of existence. Jim spoke of the peace of God: "I walked out on the hill just now. It is exalting, delicious, to stand embraced by the shadows of a friendly tree with the wind tugging at your coattail and the heavens hailing your heart, to gaze and glory and give oneself again to God--what more could a man ask? Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on earth! I care not if I never raise my voice again for Him, if only I may love Him, please Him.... if only I may see Him, touch His garments, and smile into His eyes." Isaiah 26:3-4: "You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord, is the Rock eternal." GospeLines Prayer: Everlasting Father, let me bask in Your presence and know the Peace of Your countenance. Accept my humble offering of praise, and gratitude. Anoint Your servant with boldness and allow me to share Your grace with the multitudes. Amen and amen. O.
